Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

Psychedelics (serotonergic hallucinogens) are powerful psychoactive substances that alter
perception and mood and affect numerous cognitive processes. They are generally …

Corticostriatal connections play a central role in developing appropriate goal-directed
behaviors, including the motivation and cognition to develop appropriate actions to obtain a …

Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …

Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) has proven capable of stimulating cortical tissue in
humans. tFUS confers high spatial resolutions with deep focal lengths and as such, has the …

Diffusion MRI streamlines tractography suffers from a number of inherent limitations, one of
which is the accurate determination of when streamlines should be terminated. Use of an …

Deep learning and predictive coding architectures commonly assume that inference in
neural networks is hierarchical. However, largely neglected in deep learning and predictive …

Predictive coding theories of sensory brain function interpret the hierarchical construction of
the cerebral cortex as a Bayesian, generative model capable of predicting the sensory data …

Exploring EEG alpha oscillations has generated considerable interest, in particular with
regards to the role they play in cognitive, psychomotor, psycho-emotional and physiological …

Although cells in many brain regions respond to reward, the cortical-basal ganglia circuit is
at the heart of the reward system. The key structures in this network are the anterior …
